Both yuri and yaoi aficionados can now enjoy their favourite fetish in a single episode of Shinsekai Yori (“From A New World”) – even if it remains exceedingly tame by the standards of the original manga.

Fans of the original can still be forgiven for feeling they are missing out all the same:

I’m surprised that everyone is missing how the writers are portraying free love and especially homosexuality with what seems to be a very conservative Buddhist social outlook. This is highlighted when they compare this type of societal love to that of what apes have, more specifically bonobos. Am I the only who sees the writers shinning a negative light on this culture’s morals?

maybe but you can ditch Orwell that easily, he had an insight into the future way ahead of its time. people who don’t understand the times that are running and how governments act today is because they never read this books.

“The only difference is Brave New World was horseshit” You have to be kidding me right? Brave New World is one of the greatest novels of the early twentieth century, mainly for how prophetic it was. Huxley blows away Orwell with Brave New World or any writer attempting to capture the future at that time.

I correct myself, I just ended the first volume and there’s no yaoi action between Satoru and Shun AT ALL (and no so much yuri either ,apart from the scene of pic 50 to 53, ot’s just some breast grabbing action -bath time-)

@JustLemonz
For how much I’ve read : more yuri than yaoi and the anime is really different form the manga
(manga: you actually do see Reiko beeing killed by the Faze cat and the teacher appear on the scene , during the summer camp they don’t encounter the niseminoshiro and didn’t have their canti sealed nor they learn about the “truth” and they don’t get sepaated before meeting Squealer and his queen (pic 50 onward are from after they reach squealer’s colony).)

because the majority of male anime fans, especially those on this site, are so insecure about their sexuality they feel threatened by the slightest hint of two men getting friendly. And thus have to cause a stink in comments all EWWW GAAAAAY MUST LET EVERYONE KNOW I AM HETERO HRRGH RROOOOAR.

Lol at your getting voted down. It’s true, the girls watching this don’t mind the yuri at all, while the male viewers are freaking out like crazy at the yaoi. Just stating the facts. I’d rather not see any BL either, but the decent thing to do is enjoying the yuri while ignoring the yaoi without making a fuzz.

not all guys were affected by the BL, some of us arent homophobes and just didnt care.

what got me annoyed tho is the strange turn of events, i mean it was clear as day that shin and saki had something going on during their younger days, and satoru always showed his signes of jelousy. heck satorus jelose actions were directed in a way to make him look like he was trying to impress saki, so how in the hell did he and shin become butt-buddies. not to mention the obviouse oddity of everyone forming same sex couples, in the anime at least its like the authour/director completely forgot about coupling of different sexes.
